Stacked Enchiladas
This stacked enchilada bake can be made with store bought tortillas and canned beans for a quick and tasty weeknight meal. However, if you have the time, make your own tortillas at home and cook dried beans rather than using canned. Having made it both ways, I can say that you'll find that the extra effort results in much richer, more complex tastes that will elevate the dish from a just yet-another-dinner to something you want to savor and share.
